How Harper Rustled &325, 900 and Saved
another Bank from Failure and Then
Adro itJF Worked His Own
CINCINNATI, OHIO, Oct. 10.-It is IN
derstood that Ammi Baldwin. late cashier
OF the defuncs Fidelity Bank, has made i
statement Of affairs in the institution,
which gives en- inside view. 1t begins by
giving some news about the condition Of
the Third Nstionsl Bank, in which Bald
win was cashier II 1881. He says,
"Hsndy Harper Snd others were engaged
in big wheat deal st CGicsgo, and
one night found toe bank with only
$4,000 in cash oU hand Some Of the
directors Went to CGjcsgo thSt night, and
By IL a n. next Cay had telegTsphed
1926, 900 and saved it. The other directors
never knew until now how near their
bank WAS wrecked" BaldwiU's brother
also IN thst bank embsZz ed $3.50, but
Ammi GOV, red il up for him, he says, win
the help Of Harper and others. and then
got into Harper'5 hands. When the
latter founded the Fidelity he took
the BsldWins along with him.
The Fidelity was run on wind and by the
one man power of Harper slOne, who

kept all the secrets OF business except
such as he shared with Miss Josie
Holmes, exchange clerk. Harper was
bound to keep the stock Of the bank up,
and 81 premium bought eVerybody's
stock who wanted to sell. Baldwin was
sick and absent for 8 few weeks
and On mis- return found Harper
mad assumed the duties OF cashier
aud continued to do 30 on
the plea of relieving Baldwin Of bis work.
Harper had balance Of 100000 or so
on hand nearly ell the time. The money
seems now to have come mostly from
hypothecsting the banks stock aud the
discounting OF accommodation paper,
yet so sdroitly was it all done that Bald
win did not suspect the state Of affairs
until the crash came. He had often
heard B Hopkins, assistant cashier, say
that Harper must be worth at least
$500, 900. ,,3sss

US that the Golden Slope had the adyant-
age of US only in the enterprise of her
citizens, who have realized the various
sources of wealth and provided at once
TO develop them. The climatic diner
euces amount to little. We have climate
in Texas as enjoyable as can be found
anywhere; we have natural advantages
in abundance and a soil of unwonted fer
tilitY. All that is necessary is for our
producing and farming masses to liberate
themselves from the Ihralldom of the
feecy king and direct their efforts to
some of the many more remunerative
crops. Fruit growing has made Califor-
MIA famous and rich. The same industry
can do the same thing for Texas.

FRUIT GROWING IN TEXAS.

The article printed in another part of
TIE GAZETTE from the pen of Hon. W.
S. Herndon of Tyler on the subject of
fruit growing in Texas is we'll worthy of
perusal as it contains the observations
OF an intelligent and practical mind. That
Texas needs diversity of crops has
long been 8 recognized truth, but
that diversity was possible few
could realize. King Cotton has SO
long ruled the south that anyone
weakening IN the customary sturdy allie
gisnce to this domineering monarch was
considered traitor OF the deepest dye.
'fCotton is the only thing that will bring
moneys, has long been the cry, and the
feecy staple has been planted regularly
every year, and every year has brought
less and less money. The fruit
interests have been neglected, and
If interest cAn be aroused
in this importsnt industry it will
open up new channels of industry, new
sources Of gain and relieve, in measure,
the overcrowding Of the cotton raising in
dustry. The territory mapped out IS
suitable for fruitraising by Colonel Hern-
don is large enough to furnish the south.
It is equal to the famous California lands
which have enhanced in value TO $1,000
en- acre On account OF their
capacity for raising fruit. The
rush to California from Texas has taught

AUSTIN, TEX, Oct. 12.-The following
interesting information obtained from a

from Colonel T. J. Goree, superintendent
of the state penitentisry: The board has
been down to Oyster creek and can give
you correct data about the crop there
The crop has been injured some by
drouth, q little by csterpillars, but most
IL by worms. Our fight against the
csterpillars with poison was success as
shown by the foliage aud growing crop.
we have 900 acres in cotton and | believe
but for the boil worm would have made
800 or $50 bales. Even now 1 cslculste
on 600 bales, and If we do not have too
much unisvorsble weather for gathering,
we will probably get go bales. On the
farms worked on the states account and
on shares, I think the state will get
1909 bales OF cotton at least, and
considerable quantity of corn. We
have made and gathered 5000 bushels on
Harlem, and think about 5000 on the
state farm. We ought to get about 10, 900
bushels on our farms. We have 100 acres
of very fiue cane on Harlem. The number OF

CorresUondence of the Gazette.
SAN DIEGO, TEX, Oct. 8.-The most of
the wool clip of the season has been
brought in, though not all. On account of
the continuous rainy weather we have
been having lately, and the consequently
bad state of the ways and byways the wool
has been retarded in shearing aud haul
ing There has been very little sold as yet,
and there seems to be not much activity
in the market for that great staple of this
section. 1 have heard of only few bags
being disposed Of at ~ cents, and Is cents
being offered and declined for some OF 8
better quality. There appears to be no
fixed price, and those whose necessities
do not compel them TO sell for what
they can get will hold Or snip.
One of the Aztecs was jailed last night
for g stealing. No wonder that females
have been plentiful and cheap on the
plaza lately! He will have hearing be-
fore our local Justice of the peace to-day.

THE APPLE OF DrsCoRD.
Matt Snyder Plays the Role of Paris
With the Usual Result.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Peace-loving Holmesburg is disturbed
and lifelong arrangements threatened
to trace their origin to the ques-
ton of who is the prettiest girl,
and who the ugliest young man in that
neat, clean suburb. When referee
Matt Snyder stood up in Atheneum hall on
Saturday night and said that Rose Lewis
was entitled to the bracelet as the prettiest
Holmesburg girl, and that George Lintz
carried Off box of cigars as the ugliest
man in the neighborhood, he little knew
the trouble he was bringing Oh the good
people of that section
Holmesburg is noted for it's pretty girls
and ugly men, and everybody recognizes
that Matt Snyder had difficult task 10 do
justice to the 257 young people in the hall
when he made the decision, but still they
talk and dispute in the pOStOffice. the bar
Der shop, and even the railroad trains.
1t was long-haired Indian oil medicine
man who offered the prizes. He didn't
care who was the prize beauty or the
homely maSher of Holmesburg. He wanted
TO get crowd and their money gathered
| in the hall, where he could talk them into
buying an oil that would simply
annihilate all diseases. A big crowd
was there, and Matt Snyder was taken
from rear seat to judge between beauty
and ugliness. All the girls looked their
loveiest. Thirty-eight firmly believed that
her own particular self would be the Venus.
but twenty-year-old Rose Lewis walked
away with the bracelet. She is pretty, but
there are about thirty-five blondes and
brunettes in Holmesburg who do
not hesitate to confess that Rose was not
| the prettiest girl at the show of the Indian
medicine man, and they industriousIy whs-
per it about the prize bracelet. instead of
having been made at Tiffany's, is hre-gilt,
and not worth fighting over. ''Sour grapes''
shout in reply the friends of the winner.
| LintZ and his friends think that the YER
dict in his favor was unprovoked, and
| they speak OF his handsome points with
enthusiasm. He drives the ''yaller'
and green bus down to Holmes
burg junction, and he knows every
time why people stand and stare at him,
and he feels like warming the youngsters
who glance at his homely face and shout
rats"
| The medicine man has left Holmesburg.
and peace seems to have left with him.
